The show dubbed 'Warriors Conquest II' will be another good chance for Colorado combat fans to get out and see a quality product.
The main-event has surging Colorado standout Raul 'El Chino' Carrillo (10-1-0) taking on the always game Cesar 'The Rattlesnake' Holguin (9-3-1).
Carrillo is coming off of a tough fought decision win over New Mexico's Josh Torres this last summer and looks to keep rolling.
In spite of Holguin being fresh off a two year layoff and the only blemish on Carrillo's record being to Rob Frankel, 'El Chinos' manager Raul Utajara knows 'The Rattlesnake' can't be overlooked.
"Raul's opponent (Holguin) in his own right is a tough, very worthy opponent. If anything, he's got more experience over him (Carrillo). We respect him a lot. By no means is he coming to lay down.
"He's coming to fight and he's coming to win."
Utajara believes much of Holguin flying under the radar has to do with location more than anything.
"He just hasn't always had the recognition he deserves because he's way out there (Grand Junction). If he was a local kid from Denver or in this area, I think a lot more people would be know him."
Either way, Utajara and his fighter know the path to the brighter lights is possible only after continuing to take care of business here in Colorado.
"I think a lot of local fighters are avoiding him (Holguin).
"If we can't beat the fighters from our area (CO), then we won't be able to do anything on the national level."
